For this book, I teamed up with Duke professor and researcher Richard Surwit, Ph.D., to explore the link between stress, depression, and diabetes. A Publisher’s Weekly review stated, “The idea of stress contributing to poor health is an old one, but often patients are simply told to “relax”–and it’s even rarer that researchers take the time to carefully study how relaxation can improve physical conditions. Tackling both these issues, Dr. Richard Surwit combines specific relaxation techniques with a solid research background in an effort to help control blood sugar levels….the specific steps aren’t difficult to add to your daily routine and may make just the difference you’ve been hoping for.”
